Dear readers! We present to your attention the fourth issue of Logistics for 2024. On its pages, we summarize the results of the TransRussia | SkladTech 2024 exhibition, held from March 19 to 21 at Crocus Expo. The organizers and guests of the event claim that the exhibition is breaking new attendance records from year to year and improving its business program.
From year to year, the freight transportation market gives a variety of transhipment indicators - we are either growing or falling. YugTrans experts have repeatedly pointed out the lack of transhipment facilities in Russia. Therefore, the fact that the terminal infrastructure is being modernized little by little, new projects are appearing, which means that in case of growth we will be ready to digest it, cannot but rejoice. At the YugTrans-2020 forum, experts will discuss the top-end facilities.
Including the latest version of the project of the state port in Taman, within the framework of which it is planned to build a terminal for 9 million tons of metallurgical cargo from MC METALLOINVEST.
Of course, there are always enough problems in the market. Despite the fact that the total cargo turnover of the seaports of the Russian Federation even grew slightly (by 2.9 per cent) in 2019, amounting to 840.3 million tons, transhipment of ferrous metals in Russian ports decreased by 12.6 per cent - they accounted for only 26.7 million tons.
By the end of February 2020, non-ferrous metals, following other types of cargo, also showed negative dynamics amid falling global stock market indices due to an increase in the incidence of new coronavirus in China, South Korea, Japan, Italy and Iran, which naturally strengthened fears of the influence of this factor on the global and Russian economies. The media said that “the growing concern over the economic impact of the coronavirus epidemic is increasingly affecting the non-ferrous metals sector,” Daniel Bean, an economist at ANZ Research, said in a note.
However, in the past year, there was a global drop in demand and unfavourable pricing conditions. Nevertheless, growth in demand in the domestic market, including through national projects, experts hope, in the coming year will be able to help domestic metallurgy. The same “Comprehensive Plan for the Modernization and Expansion of the Main Infrastructure”, which provides for the construction of bridge crossings, port facilities, railways, is associated both with the demand for steel products and with the expansion of transport opportunities in the direction of export markets.
